My experienced in this school is wonderful. I have never felt in trouble or left out in this school all the staff from the teachers and principals to the janitors and police officers at the front desk. I have always felt safe and never once had an ounce of fear from being there. I am so attach to my school i rather stay and find something to do with my friends then go home. The Academic value of CHAH does not lacked either I have gotten so much knowledge and have really grasp the understanding of all the subjects and units I have being thought at this school and even if I felt like I was falling behind the way that they are able to tell and help everyone out for no one to fall behind is amazing they pick the best staff and I am happy I made the decision to be in this school.

From my experience at CHAH I felt as if I had the right tools and people to guide me towards life after high school. This school has a tremendous amount of impact on who I am today and I am very grateful for the many lessons I have learned here.
